Ingwe Shadowrunner
the Underbark Elf
Named for the deep oak root that runs unseen beneath the forest floor, as shadow runs before the light, and for the runner's step that disturbs no leaf.
Power
Rootbinding — you can call oak roots to grip the earth and hold a creature in place for as long as you stand still and silent. But the roots will not release until you move again, and they hold your stillness as a debt.

You first knelt in the hollow oak at the border of the Greatmoss, and the price was a single word from your true name, which the oak still holds. You do not speak of it, but you feel its absence like a missing tooth. The badger Knotwood came to you the day you stopped looking for it.
